HONOLULU (AP) – Colt Brennan broke the major college career record for touchdown passes Friday, throwing his 122nd in the first quarter for No. 14 Hawaii against No. 17 Boise State.
Brennan threw a 6-yard TD out pass to Ryan Grice-Mullen to surpass the mark set by former Brigham Young standout Ty Detmer in 1991. With the pass, Brennan also broke Detmer’s record for most touchdowns responsible for with 136.
The sellout, green-clad, ti-leaf waving crowd at Aloha Stadium roared as Brennan was congratulated by teammates on the sideline and officials removed the record-breaking ball. The touchdown pass tied the game at 7.
The senior from Irvine, Calif., reached the milestone in his 36th game, 10 fewer than Detmer took to set the record.
Brennan entered the game holding 24 other NCAA records, including the single-season record for TD passes of 58, which he set last year.
